Compound Sentences Exercises For Slovenian Grammar

Group study with Spanish grammar exercises 

In Slovenian Grammar, a compound sentence, known as “Stavčna zveza”, is used to combine two or more independent clauses. The separate clauses must be connected by using either coordination, which means the clauses are of equal importance, or subordination, where there is a principal clause and at least one subordinate clause. The purpose of a compound sentence is to add balance and rhythm, clarity and emphasis, variety and sophistication, and ideas and information to a text.
